Chapter 871: Chapter 0871: Find a Guide

"Hey, why is there one person missing?"

Wang Shilei suddenly pointed at the few figures who had just dismounted, "Where did Tang Xin go?"

"Crap, we’ve lost him..."

Before Wang Zhimen could finish his sentence, his face changed dramatically. He abruptly turned his head, only to see a large, seemingly harmless face appear before him.

"You guys have been following me for so long, aren’t you tired?"

Tang Ming grinned at the two people squatting in the bushes. He had noticed he was being followed for a while but was too lazy to deal with it. Now that he was lost, it was the perfect time to "ask for directions."

"You... you..."

Wang Shilei plopped down on the ground, staring at Tang Ming in horror.

"Group Leader Tang, what a coincidence to run into you here."

Wang Zhimen, somewhat composed, forced a smile and babbled.

"Coincidence, my ass. You’ve been following me the entire way; you think I didn’t notice?"

Tang Ming cursed, then grabbed the collars of the two and lifted them up. "I just so happen to have business at the Heavenly Cloud Palace, but I don’t know the way to the Heavenly Cloud Sect. You two will show me the way."

"Take it easy, I’ll take you there."

Wang Zhimen resentfully agreed, silently cursing his bad luck. So, Tang Xin was indeed headed for the Heavenly Cloud Palace, but what exactly did he intend to do?

Seeing Tang Ming bring out Wang Zhimen and Wang Shilei, the three women and Chen Cang were taken aback. They had not noticed they were being followed along the way.

Actually, last night the three women had seen Wang Zhimen causing trouble, but since Tang Ming had handled it, they didn’t ask about it. They didn’t expect these two to show up again today.

Under Tang Ming’s coercion, Wang Zhimen and Wang Shilei grudgingly pointed the way to the Heavenly Cloud Palace and were forced to lead the way.

Since they couldn’t resist, they could only accept their fate. Wang Zhimen prayed that Tang Ming would finish his business at the Heavenly Cloud Palace quickly and leave.

The Heavenly Cloud Sect was hidden atop a steep mountain peak. The mountain path was roughly hewn with steep steps, difficult to identify without guidance.

With Wang Zhimen and Wang Shilei leading the way, Tang Ming’s group ascended the steps.

Tang Ming and Chen Cang felt no strain from the climb, but the three women were gasping for breath. If Wang Zhimen and Wang Shilei weren’t present, they would have protested long ago. Now, they had no choice but to endure the pain in their legs and climb step by step.

After what felt like forever, they arrived near a pavilion halfway up the mountain.

"Let’s rest, let’s rest. I can’t move another step."

Li Xiaoli panted as she climbed toward the pavilion, refusing to go any further.

Xia Wei’er and Liu Mengting supported each other, slumping onto the pavilion’s benches, unwilling to get up.

"How much further?"

Tang Ming, understanding their situation, frowned as he looked toward the mountaintop. He could vaguely see the outline of some buildings.

"We’ve already covered two-thirds of the way. Just a bit more and we’ll reach the Heavenly Cloud Palace."

Wang Zhimen quickly explained, "Group Leader Tang, we’re almost there. Can’t you let us go now?"

"Are you sure you’re not lying?"

Tang Ming asked coldly.

"I wouldn’t dare."

Wang Zhimen shook his head vigorously. "You can see the buildings on the mountain. Who would build such steep steps without a sect being here?"

"That makes sense."

Tang Ming nodded, then snorted. "Get lost. Don’t mess with me again, or I won’t be so merciful."

"Alright, alright. I won’t mess with you again, Group Leader Tang."

Wang Zhimen nodded repeatedly, relieved.

With Tang Ming’s permission, Wang Zhimen grabbed Wang Shilei and prepared to descend. Staying with Tang Ming any longer was torture.

"Hold on."

As Wang Zhimen started to leave, Chen Cang suddenly spoke up with a sneer. "Didn’t you hear what my boss said?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Zhimen asked, confused, a sense of dread rising.

"My boss said to get lost, not to walk away."

Chen Cang grinned evilly and kicked Wang Zhimen.

"Ah!"

Wang Zhimen screamed as his body tumbled down the stairs like a rubber ball.

Tang Ming hadn’t expected Chen Cang to do that, but it amused him.

The steps were extremely steep. Falling from such a height, even a Three-star Martial Master would struggle to stay upright. Thanks to Chen Cang’s kick, Wang Zhimen rolled all the way to the bottom, landing with his head bleeding, barely conscious.

"Hah, now that’s what I call ’get lost.’"

Chen Cang chuckled triumphantly.

"Oh my god."

Wang Shilei, legs trembling, stared at the unconscious Wang Zhimen, terrified.

"Are you going to get lost, or not?"

Tang Ming glared at Wang Shilei, shouting angrily.

"I’ll do it myself."

Wang Shilei was so scared that he immediately started rolling down the steps, terrified that Tang Ming would kick him as well.

Watching Wang Shilei roll down, Tang Ming was dumbfounded. His mouth twitched as he said, "I told him to get lost, and he really did. Unexpected."

"Hahaha, that felt so good! Those two were so arrogant last night, I didn’t think they’d be so pathetic today."

Chen Cang laughed heartily. "It’s finally some payback for everyone they bullied."

"Oh no, Tang Ming, help!"

Just then, Li Xiaoli cried out in alarm.

Tang Ming rushed into the pavilion. "What’s wrong?"

"Tang Ming, I’m sick. Look at my legs,"

Li Xiaoli leaned against the bench, pointing at her legs. "They’re trembling uncontrollably. Am I going to die?"

"My legs are shaking too."

Liu Mengting sighed helplessly, her long legs trembling uncontrollably.

"You..."

Tang Ming was exasperated. "That’s just a lack of exercise. Your muscles are contracting; it’s normal. Look at Wei’er, she’s fine."

"Meng Meng and Xiaoli aren’t used to physical labor. They can’t handle such intense exercise."

Xia Wei’er felt a bit embarrassed. Unlike Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, she had done a lot of laborious work growing up, so she had better stamina. She was tired too, but not as bad as them.

"I don’t care. I can’t walk anymore. My legs are going to break."

With Wang Zhimen and Wang Shilei gone, Li Xiaoli was completely unrestrained, crying and whining.
